If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for  
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty,  
in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.  
• About condensation  
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of  
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on  
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate  
properly.  
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power  
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature  
before using the unit.

Cautions on Loading Discs  
Single layer disc  
Dual layer disc  
Hybrid disc  
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage  
the unit or scratch the discs.  
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired  
with adhesive, etc.  
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels  
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been  
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage  
it.  
Do not touch the signal surface.

CDs.  
b What is the CD layer?  
• Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.  
Cautions on Handling  
The CD layer is the layer of signals that can be read on a regular CD  
player.  
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.  
• Place the discs flatly, 12 cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8  
cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).  
• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.  
Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from  
their cases.  
This unit is not compatible with multi-channel playback.

• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a  
cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to  
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.  
e CD-R/CD-RW  
• Some discs and some recording formats may not be playable.  
• Non-finalized discs cannot be played.  
Cautions on Storing Discs  
b What is finalization?  
• Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.  
Finalization is the process that makes recorded CD-R/CD-RW discs  
playable on compatible players.  
• Be sure to remove discs after using them.  
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,  
scratches, warping, etc.  
• Do not store discs in the following places:  
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time  
2. Dusty or humid places  
NOTE  
• “00:00” is displayed if a disc that cannot be played is loaded.  
• “NO DISC” is displayed if the disc is loaded upside-down or if no disc  
is loaded.  
Discs with special shapes (heart-  
shaped discs, octagonal discs,  
etc.) cannot be played. Do not  
attempt to play them, as doing so  
can damage the product.  
3. Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.

Speaker Connections  
Connecting the Playback  
Components  
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω/ohms. The protection  
circuit may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than  
specified are used.  
Speakers  
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out  
of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if  
the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each  
other (v“Protection circuit”).  
Record Player  
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is  
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections  
of the speaker cables and input cables. If the sets temperature  
is extremely high, wait for it to cool off and improve surrounding  
ventilation. After doing this, plug the power cord back in.  
If the protection circuit is activated though there are no problems  
in ventilation around the set or in connections, the set could be  
damaged. Turn off the power, then contact a DENON servicing and  
inquiry outlet.  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –  
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the RCD-CX1,  
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.  
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from  
1
the tip of the speaker cable, then either  
twist the core wire tightly or terminate  
it.  
• With some record players, noise may be generated when the ground  
wire is connected. If so, disconnect the ground wire.  
• Set the CARTRIDGE selection switch to “jMM” or “hMC”  
according to the cartridge being used.  
Turn

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to  
tighten it.
